Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

I have a navigation menu that contains a link per controller in my application. This menu is the same for all controllers, but I want this behaviour: <a>Users</a> <span>Statistics</span> and <span>Users</span> <a>Statistics</a> depending on the page you''re currently on. I''ve put a <render :partial =>

Hi all I''m coding a project that needs a lot of authentication stuff... e.g. I write sort of a profile area, where users can create their different profiles. So I need to check if a user has the right to browse the profiles, if he has the right to change them all (as an admin) or the ones that belong to him etc. etc. This needs quite some logic... Now I wonder whether to use the

I''m using Edge Rails and the new has_many :through in my code. What I''m trying to do is modify my create and update code to use the new relationships. I''m using a table called course_teachers for the joins. Here is what I have so far: def create @course = Course.new(params[:course]) @teacher = Teacher.find(params[:primary_teacher]) @course.teachers =

People, I am using: before_filter :login_required in my Controllers and this works fine. For some tables I am happy to use the output of eg: ruby script/generate scaffold Author but is there some way that I can disable Create, Edit, Destroy for some user logins in the corresponding view?

This may be more of a Ruby question, but I wasn''t sure. Is there a way to run a find on a model and then save two fields as key => value in an array for each row. Then use this array on the template for checking if various checkbox or select values are checked? I''m trying to avoid running one query to check the value for each box in the form. - Kyle

Hi there, I''ve just installed login_engine and user_engine from the repositories, followed the setup procedures as documented in: vendor/plugins/user_engine/README But I''m getting the following failure: vince@vaio:~/Projects/Booking$ rake bootstrap (in /home/vince/Projects/Booking) rake aborted! undefined method `edit'' for class `UserController''

I''m trying to work with a many-to-many relationship, but the join table needs to have a is_primary field. What is the best way to work with this (adding / changing primary / deleting)? I understand that the :through option in Edge Rails can handle this better, but I was just wondering if there was a good way to handle this with Rails 1.0. Thanks, Kyle

I suspect there''s an easier version of this question that I could ask, but I''m not sure where I''m going wrong. I have LoginEngine and UserEngine setup and seemingly running fine. However, not all of my controllers are being found when I run "rake sync_permissions". Specifically, it''s the controllers that are not in the base controllers folder, but

How can I get a list of all model classes in the domain of a Rails application (all models, both in "app/models" and in components/somedir/model.rb)? Thanx in advance for your precious help! Edoardo "Dado" Marcora

Hi, I''m playing around with the UserEngine for limiting access to my app and I like what I see so far. One question, however, I''d like to be able to set it up so that any user navigating to the site is automatically set as "anonymous" or some such access level with minimal permissions, without having to login. IOW, the login function should only be used by
